Anthony Heidriek, of Lake township, is confined to his bed today suffering I from serious injuries to his head and i back. Saturday afternoon at his farm I near Arcola he hitched up a team of colts for the purpose of breaking them to drive double. While circling about the barnyard the colts got unmanageable and beyond control.

They ran away at breakneck speed with Mr. Heidriek clinging to the lines. They dashed madly through the garden and just cleared a wire clothes line. The line caught Mr. Heidriek in the stomach and hung him suspended in midair with the wagon jerked from under him.

The velocity "with which the team was running forced the farmer around the wire like a spinning top and finally he landed on the garden walk on the back of his head and shoulders in a heap. Me carried into the house helpless by his wife and daughter. Dr. Gloek, of Arcola, says that no bones were broken, but You should I buy Mapl-Flake? Why not cook a wheat food myself Because wheat starch, to be digestible, needs treatment that you can't give it. Our wheat is cooked for six hours.

Then it is cured for 90 hours. Then flaked as thin as paper. Then toasted 30 minutes at 400 degrees. That is all done to make the starch soluble; to separate the particles so the digestive juices can get to them. This is not so important when the stomach is strong.

But, when the stomach is weak, it is of. vital importance. The question is this: Will you have a food that's all food, a food that will all digest, or shall part be nourishment and part be waste, to ferment and breed germs in the stomach There's the question of convenience, too. Note the time required to even partly cook wheat, Mapl-Flake is ready to serve. Then the question of flavor--how to make the children prefer the food that is best for them.

We cook all our wheat in pure maple syrup, mainly for the children's sake. The process we use is four times as long as that used on some flaked foods. But you get the result in the food value. That is why Mapl-Flake costs 15 cents per package. If it were 10 cents, everybody would chooss it among all the flaked foods.

But consider the cream. That costs as inuch on poor food as on good food. Add (hat, and see how little you save by going without the food that you like best, "It's All WE HAVE MOVED Employes Credit Co. 0. LAKfi.

WHITE FRUIT HOUSE, A HORRIBLE DEATH MRS. WARREN ROGERS, OF WALTON AVENUE, FATALLY Accidentally Caused a Gasoline Explosion When Electricity Failed Saturday Evening.

The flesh on every portion of her body bliBtered and several parts literally cooked that it fell from the bones when her clothing was removed the cause of the death early Sunday morning of Mrs. Mary Louise Rod- gerg, wife of Warren Rodjjers. The terrible Injuries were received several hours before the kindly hand of death relieved the unfortunate woman of her Bufferings. The burng were the result of a gaaoline explosion which happened on Saturday eYwalng. About 7 o'clock the electric lights in the Rodgers home, 2210 Walton avenue, went out and Mrs.

Rodgers went to the cellar to obtain some oil to fill her lamps. Mr. Rodgers had gone out, as had her daughter and two sons, but a Mrs. 0. B.

Braithwattf, was with Mrs. Rodgert. Mrs. Rotifers went Into the cellar, which is entered from an outside stairway, while Bralthwaite remained In the kitchen. The closest investigation of the actions of the unfortunate woman seems to indicate that she groped her way to the oil can and then struck to note her surroundings.

A-gasoline can standing nearby was leaky and the fumes were escaping. There was a slight explosion and oil was splashed, over the dress of the victim. In an instant her clothing was ablaze and a piercing scream warned Mrs. Braithwaite that something waa wrong. She rushed to the door and was horrified to see Mrs.

RodgerB emerge from the cellarway like a pillar of fire. The Unfortunate woman was screaming into the kitchen of her home, making frantic efforts to tear her clothing-from her body. Her hair was- ablaze and the rapid movements and high wind were fanning the flames. The frenzied woman ran from the room to the home of her neighbor, Mr. Braithwaite, and he met her at the kitchen door with a rug that had been handed him by his wife.

After a fierce struggle he succeeded in extinguishing the flames, and carried the victim into the house. A physician was immediately but all that could be done was to relieve the terrible pain and wait for death for relief. Mrs. Rodgers begged pitifully for relief and prayed might die, so terrible was the suffering she endured. Death finally came to her at 5 o'clock Sunday morning.

The two sons of the dead woman were on a fishing expedition and were not located until late Saturday, night. They, above the Centlivre brewery, the St. Joe, and were flriallyrlocated by 'Patrolman-Kreucke- berg, Jr; family is prostrated by the terrible affair.

The Dominion house of commons has voted approval to a project to build line to Fort Churchill on the westward of the Hudson bay. This marks the beginning of the end of the Hudson Bay rule of the northwest territories, a monopoly which the fur traders have held since 1656.

Sufficient funds for the project will at once be appropriated in spite of the opposition of the Hudson Bay Co. Its completion means speedy access to all the furred riches of the frozen north and a new outlet for the hardy wheat of the Canadian plains. AU Fort Churchill is one. of the few governed by the tur monopoly. It is situated at the mouth of the Churchill river, where the canoes of the trappers from the inlnnd lakes slip silently down each spring to exchange cargoes of pelts for the coin and.

of his majesty's servants. It is '900'-miles north of Dtiluth and 400 miles from the nearest railroad station. Water connections by means of tbe river and a score of inland lakes make the fort the key to the commerce of the provinces of Kunwatln, Saskatchewan, Athabaca and Northeast Alberta. From Fort Churchill large canoes and small steamers can go 800 miles into the interior. The country is the home of the musk ox, the 'polar bear, the walrus, the brown bear, the carabou and moose.

OLDRAISULI IS PUNCTURED From him and his band and Raisuli determined to give a fresh lesson. He opjened negotiations with the ruler looking to a truce, met Kair Sir Harry MacLean, a Scotchman, who commanded the sultan's army and had been chosen to represent his master at the conference, set up the cry of treason, seized the kaid and fled Into the hills.

This -time the English government brought pressure on the sultan to compel compliance with the outlaw's demands for his prisoner's release. The negotiations continued for many months, during which Sir Harry, an aged man, -suffered incredible hardships. Jf It is but a MacLean was finally set free on payment of $100,000 to the bandit, the title of Sheef, the liberation of his tribesmen whom the sultan held as prisoners, and an English guarantee of immunity for himself and followers from the sultan's vengeance. An English concert hall manager visited the outlaw shortly after Sir Harry wag set free in the hope of inducing him to appear as an attraction in a London variety theater. The manager did not lose his life, as many persons predicted he would, but met with a point blank refusal, explaining that all England had not enough to give him to so humiliate himself.

The Englishman explained on his- return home that he found the bandit a "holy man," who spent much of time in prayer and meditation and that he thought It would be easier to get Sultan Abdel Hamid himself to- appear in a concert hall. Raisuli's full name was Mohammed- er-Raisuli. He was forty in the title his countrymen had. given him of "The Scourge Morocco." C9VERDALE ARCHER CO. Strictly Fresh Country Eggs, 16ft dozen.
